the Premises Not Settled.
In the equity court yesterday return was
made TO the rule in the case of Blake ana
othersagainst the District OF Columbia, in which
an Injunction is sought to restrain the District
from taxing certain property In the proposed
extension of Connecticut avenue and widening
Columbia road. The latter case was under
consideration, Messrs. w. +. Mattingly ap-
pearingt for the complainant, M. +. Morris for
the petitioners, and ii. E. Davis for the Dis
trict. Some portion of the papers had been
read and the argument started, when Justice
Merrick made a number of inquiries in which
were involved the power of the commissioners
TO take property before any specific appropria-
tion for Its payment had been made and to
what extent It was possible for the commis-
sioners to go. 1t was conceded on all sides that
the question was an important one, and, no
objection being made, the case was certified to
thegeneral term to be heard In the first in-
stance, and II was understood that a special
arrangement would be made by which the
hearing could be had next Monday.

JUsTIFIABLE COMPLAINTS.
street-sweeping Contractor Should Use
More Water.

A bitter complaint has been made to the
commissioners by the citizens of Mount Pleas
ant that the watering cart goes no further than
the upper end Of Justice Harlans grounds. A
complaint is heard daily of the manner In
which the city streets are watered nightly
before being swept On Capitol Hill the water
ing cart merely vets the center of street, and
by the time the sweepers come along 1t is
nearly dry, and the result is that the clouds of
dust raised by the sweepers is an outrage. The
commissioners, 1t is suspi0oned, have an in.
well swept. and they cannot help but know of
the disgraceful way In which peoples houses
are filled with dust, not to say anything of the
annoyance given to people on the street.

various reflections for every man who
had the present and future interest of his
country at heart.
